What is the „Building of Tomorrow“?
innovative residential, office and commercial buildings
• with a high market potential
• which – compared to the present practice in Austria –
considerably reduce energy and material input
• which increasingly use renewable sources of energy,
renewable and ecologically sound materials
• which also take into account social aspects and cost
efficiency

Success stories:
• considerable interest and participation among
stakeholders in industry and research
• after only 3 years a number of concept studies will be
realised as demonstration projects: e.g. construction
of 8 “buildings of tomorrow” will start this year
